Guest aleckxander Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 hi :) yes i'm a bit concerned about the warranty, that's why i'm going to test as much as possible the device before i come home. If i get some trouble i should be able do change the device.. for later on problems, well, i try to think positive ;) and, after all, we are talking about 85 € that are worth the risk, i think. In my experience i sent back some phones into the warranty period, and somehow i had always to pay something extra anyway (not considering the cost sending a package) AND i can buy 2.5 blade at this price before i cover the price of another similar product. Actually yes it is TFT, and yes the only other eligible option is the UK version (still tft but sold at higher price) so i see no other choice, may the force be with me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sblg Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 i asked a colleague that was in uk to buy one for me at launch day. no problems so far, i think they're quite reliable phones and i don'tsee too much troubles buying it online or in swiss as our friend aleckxander is doing. I've the first version, OLED and 512Mb memory, is the swiss one with only 256Mb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aleckxander Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 no the swiss is 512 too, but it has a TFT screen instead a OLED one. Seems to be a quite crappy one, but, as far as i have read it's the same TFT that ALL the OSF are equipped with since OLED was lined out from the blade. So if i'm not wrong this means that it is not so crappy, or it's crappy like all the other decices sold around the world :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterDreher Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 In short: it's NOT crappy. It's fine. I actually really like the TFT-Display. Had the OLED before from UK. Sold it because 85€ vs. 145€ is not worth the OLED. Most oft the time the backgroundlight will be pretty low and that's where the OLED gets pretty pinkish/red in color, hate that. TFT does not do this but is a little blueish, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold for how much? you're right if i have the possibility now to choose between 85€ or 126€ (that's how much i paid it at that time) i would have bought the swiss one. But at that time even at 99£ it was an amazing deal phone! keep us updated about your search for the blade :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rawos Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 hi :) yes i'm a bit concerned about the warranty, that's why i'm going to test as much as possible the device before i come home. i was worried about warranty because i've read in a german forum that many swiss blade are defected. but you are right, the ammount of € saving is consistent [italian MODE ON] Ma non è che ti avanza spazio per prenderne un altro? ;) (ci dovevo provà) [/italian MODE OFF] I've also read that there are few in the shop "Press & Books" at Schönbühl, halfway to Bern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeterDreher Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 keep us updated about your search for the blade :) Do you mean somebody else? I am not on the search. I got mine with TFT about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest isambard Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 just wanted to say: i'm a brit living in switzerland and i just bought 2 of these devices. my first android phones. supply seems to be quite short at the moment with many kiosks selling out and the staff unfriendly and not really wanting to sell more. i was lucky to be able to get 2 by visiting an out of town kiosk. i can confirm the screen is TFT and the device has 512mb. the screen is actually very good and i examined it under a magnifying glass and saw no stuck/dead pixels. i will pick up one more device (limited to 3 per customer) and then will try to get friends to buy some for me. i'm planning to get a couple for xmas presents and a few for myself to experiment/play with. 100CHF for a fully working unlocked android device means plenty of potential uses!

Guest hansdampf88 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 TFT is good on mine. no dead pixels or anything. (on the NON matt version). and 85 € is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theInquisitor Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) What is the NON Matt Version? According to this posting at android-hilfe.de ok mobile currently sells devices with a glossy battery lid after the first Orange-branded batch with rubberized battery lid has been sold out. The device itself remains unchanged as it's still rubberized - only the battery lid has changed so far. However the exhibition dummies at the shops have been totally glossy (including device itself) from the beginning - so perhaps the next batch could become glossy all over like the "BASE Lutea" sold in Germany.

Guest aleckxander Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) to let you know that the plan worked fine.. i understimated the time travel.. milan lucern due to the traffic and strange climatic condition was near 4 hours long, coming back needed the same time due to bad traffic condition near como. Said that i was looking for 6 devices, we found 4, i'm sorry for a friend of mine and for the user here who asked me one, but we where short of time, so no chance to go somewhere else besides the lucern railstation ;) I have to say we had luck with the guys at the shop, they where (a boy and a girl :) ) really really nice, and hepled us a lot!! For your information they work in a K Kiost at the -1 etage of the station, near the coop. now i'm really happy with my new device and so my friends ;) closing note: lucern girls are HOT!!!! :D Edited December 19, 2010 by aleckxander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest curl66 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 i got my hands on 4 SF from CH. all worked fine. Displays are fine,too. no dead pixels. 2 of them seem to be oled also packaging differs slightly. was one of the first sold in CH. hard to say with this oled stuff, my SGS has oled but looks different from the colors. display of 2 look different than the other 2. but anyway overall quality is ok. no dead pixels. the 2 other are definitly tft. but quality is fine. so my advise, buy it and test it in the shop. battery seems to be charged. warranty is a pain in CH because you need swiss adress. but its a perfekt gift. the kiosk seems to got some supply last friday so hopefully tomorrow some are available :) need 3 more. xmas gifts for my girlies ;) last one is for me for playing around.

Guest theInquisitor Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 @curl66 Could you post photos of the different boxes? Are you sure that two of your devices have OLED-displays? You would be the first person to have gotten an OLED-display in Switzerland. Different colors could also come from different TFT-displays or different settings. You will find several characteristics that may help you identify your display type at http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...son-and-review/ Btw I made the close-up photos through the magnifying lens of a Victorinox pocket knife - I assume you, as a Swiss, have one of these, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, that seems nice news to me, as this rubbered coat is the only thing I don't like that much about the Blade, because it is peeling a tiny little bit off. Not that much that you see the bare cover, but it gets a little "pinkish" (and I'm using a case since day 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in south part of Switzerland, and I am looking for an orange SF (ZTE Blade) to replace my nokia.I will root it for sure:) I have seen some at orange for 124 francs + 5 francs for the card (PAYG?).

I will buy one beginning of June as I am in Asia now. any advices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest isambard Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The Swiss models are 3.2mpix. They are now in stock everywhere because they increased the compulsory top-up purchase from 10chf to 65chfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
